Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on sides.
  2. Make fudge: In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth (about 5 mins). Remove from heat.

  4. Add glaze: Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil (microwave in 30-sec intervals). Pour over fudge layer, tilting pan to cover completely.

  6. Cut: Use hot knife to slice into 1-inch squares. Store between parchment layers.

Notes

  • Storage: Keeps 2 weeks refrigerated or 3 months frozen
  • Dietary swaps: Use dairy-free chocolate and coconut condensed milk
